She is the owner and founder of Blue Ribbon Buckle Company. She just launched in November but the dream started five years ago. Ozburn was going through a rough time in her life.

"I literally said quote on quote, " I'm making belt buckles," said Ozburn. "I did not know how all I knew is I had the vision and I went with it."
Each buckle features gorilla glass. Some are even embroidered and designed with Swarovski Crystals.

She's been featured in Cowgirl Magazine and has almost made it on Shark Tank twice. In the next few days, she's having a meeting with a fortune 500 company. She can't say who it is but remains optimistic about the outcome.
